and public health, and are appointed by the CDC Director. The Task 
Force was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) to identify community preventive programs, services, and 
policies that increase healthy longevity, save lives and dollars and 
improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to provide ongoing 
administrative, research, and technical support for the operations of 
the Task Force. During its meetings, the Task Force considers the 
findings of systematic reviews on existing research, and issues 
recommendations. Task Force recommendations are not mandates for 
compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about 
evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can 
consider when determining what best meets the specific needs, 
preferences, available resources, and constraints of their 
jurisdictions and constituents. The Task Force's recommendations, along 
with the systematic reviews of the scientific evidence on which they 
are based, are compiled in the Guide to Community Preventive Services 
(Community Guide).
